The Happy-Go-Lucky Bigband, led by Japanese trumpeter and conductor Kenny Matsuura, was formed in 2010 as a rehearsal big band at a rented studio in Kowloon.
It’s a full 18-piece Jazz orchestra of young and eager-to-learn musicians dedicated to big-band-style jazz, and many members are music teachers.
The band is dedicated to studying and performing Duke Ellington’s classic compositions. It has been performing at the Fringe Club for many years – in fact, its 30th performance at the Fringe Club took place on 3 June last year. The band has also done many concerts around Hong Kong and has organized numerous jazz workshops with mentors such as Antonio Hart, Justin Robinson, Eric Miyashiro, James Zoller and members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra.
Their first performance at the Fringe in 2018 will be joined by Japanese trumpeter Yoshiro Okazaki, who will conduct a masterclass on 30 March 2018.
